Getting to know Susan
Q. Why did you join the Official NASCAR Fan Council?
"I love the sport and was excited to be able to give my opinion and feel like I was actively participating in the sport."
Q. What comes to mind when you think of NASCAR? What's your favorite NASCAR memory?
"NASCAR is breathtaking. It is a sport you have to participate in by going to an event to appreciate the full experience. My favorite NASCAR memory is my first race in 2002 at Dover. Our seats were on the front stretch and I could actually feel the ground move beneath me when the cars came by for the first time. It was literally feeling the 'earth move under my feet.'"
Q: Do you have a favorite in any of the following categories?
Driver: "Dale Earnhardt Jr."
Track: "To watch - Richmond, to go to - Loudon (because I've only been to Loudon and Dover)."
Memorabilia: "I have a life-size Budweiser cardboard display of Dale Earnhardt from a package store. He raises that Bud to me every day!"
Q: If you could go to any NASCAR race/track, where would you go?
"Bristol in August and Charlotte in the Fall."
Q: What do you like to do in your free time?
"I love to garden, knit and read."
Q: Tell us about your family. Do you have children and/or pets?
"One child, Gina, age 31."
Q: What's your dream car?
"A Chevy Camaro."
